To use accept as an example: In sockets you would do something like call
accept() to wait for an accepted socket.  It would block until a
connection arrived.  In the lwIP raw API there is no way to wait for an
accepted socket.  You just set the callback function to be called when a
new socket arrives using the tcp_accept() function.  You application
therefore needs a very different structure as it is event driven rather
than synchronous.

Have a read of lwip/doc/rawapi.txt for more detail and example.
